Couldn't even begin to approach that pricing with the new model.
Bottom line - I'm very happy with my current Fire.

I have the KF1 andthe new versions lack the same features of the gen1 device... no Bluetooth & no SDHC. card slot. I cannot stand being tethered to the device to hear the audio privately. my BT stereo headsets make all my portable devices much nicer forward use them,
For example right now my headset is connected to my Asus TF70Ot and my phone. I have video playing on the tablet if I get a call the media pauses on tablet then the phone takes over the connection, when the call ends whatever was playing on the other device resumes.
The only advantage the KF has is you can download your Amazon video content to the device for watching away from wireless access. Funny here at Gen3 of the KF nothing has improved at the fundamental use level. The only changes are basically fluff & feathers...nothing substantive for my use case.
Origami cases are nifty looking though... whoopie?? MIMO is nice to...if the person has a router/AP which supports it...
